Top Camera Obscura Hotel Reviews

Vila Gale Tavira Resort Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Very spacious hotel with a moorish decor. Beautiful pool area, well kept grounds. Great breakfast buffet. Convenient with underground car parking which connects to the lobby via elevator. Very kind staff. Only 10 minutes walking from old town and Roman Bridge. If you like meat try La Terraze and"

Hotel Don Rodrigues

8/10 Good

"Bed and bath were clean. Reception was informative and helpful. Away from the town center, I had to use Bolt which costs me about 10 euros one way."

AP Maria Nova Lounge - Adults Friendly

8/10 Good

"While the hotel was close to the town/restaurants, the hotel itself is older and in need of some repairs and touch-ups. The hotel staff however was friendly and the breakfast staff worked tremendously hard. The breakfast buffet had a lot of options, and was okay."

Residencial Marés

8/10 Good

"Staff were very friendly but professional. Breakfast was very good. The restaurant serves delicious food - great variety and reasonably priced with 10% discount for residents. There are lots of stairs to the rooms so it may not suit a traveller with mobility problems. Staff carried my luggage up and down the stairs. Directly opposite the ferry to the beach and a pleasant walk to town centre.- 5 mins."

HI Tavira Pousada Juventude - Hostel

8/10 Good

"Good position in Tavira. Easy to find. Nice room and facilities. Good breakfast. Comfortable mattress"

Pousada Convento de Tavira - Historic Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"My wife, and I stayed at the Pousada Convento de Tavira hotel from Sunday 6 Sept to Thursday 10 Sept 2026. We first visited the hotel in 2024 for coffee and decided we would like to stay there, when next in Portugal. VERDICT: This is a fabulous hotel which seamlessly integrates its historic heritage with modern comforts. There is plenty of space to relax, read a book and unwind on the comfortable sofas around the hotel, in the bar, or read beside the pool. The picturesque courtyard provides an additional level of privacy and tranquility in the centre of the hotel. Unfortunately, some architectural work was being undertaken during our stay which prevented its full use. The staff are excellent - Anna and her team on the reception desk are outstanding - and quickly resolved an issues we had. All staff are friendly, courteous, and responsive. The breakfast is first class; serving quality food to suit a myriad of tastes. The breakfast staff were attentive and even remembered what morning beverage I drank the day before! The hotel location is super convenient allowing easy access to the local town; replete with restaurants, coffee shops, ice cream venues, supermarket, and train station. An inexpensive ferry journey takes you to unspoilt beaches served by ample fish restaurants. Lots of places to walk to. Would Susan and I come back to the Pousada Convento de Tavira hotel? Yes! In a heartbeat! A fine hotel with excellent staff providing a first class customer service."

São Paulo Boutique Guest House

8/10 Good

"This is a beautiful inn. The public rooms are beautiful, the grounds are beautiful, breakfast was delicious! I would have given it five stars, but I found a member of the staff to be particularly cold!"

Authentic Tavira Hotel

8/10 Good

"Dans l’ensemble tout était bien mais la photo de la terrasse pour exemple est trompeuse… je croyais que cet établissement était proche de la mer ."

Apartment in Beautifully Restored Building in Central Tavira

10/10 Excellent

"I’d highly recommend this property to stay at in Tavira. It’s central to everything. Martin the host was great to communicate with, he let us check in early. The kitchen was well stocked (with utensils)! Very clean & tidy. A great roof terrace to catch the last rays. We will definitely book again on our next trip to Tavira."
